One of the biggest draft busts in NFL history is trying to re-kindle his football career. Yahoo! Sports has learned that JaMarcus Russell is planning a comeback attempt that he hopes will see him play in the league again.

The New York Jets do not plan to release quarterback Tim Tebow before the start of the new league year in March and instead will hold on to him with the hopes that they can trade him, according to league sources.

So, why not approach JaMarcus Russell?

He would be competition to Sanchez and McElroy during training camp, and it's not like Gang Green has much to lose. Already fielding a solid rushing attack, the play-action pass helps Russell and the AFC East isn't overly dominant against the pass.

Arizona Cardinals

Now, without question, part of that is due to a porous offensive line. At the same time, though, a quarterback must know when to make a quick release and feel the pressure when inside the pocket.

None of Arizona's quarterbacks proved reliable last season, because even Kevin Kolb only sported a 59.6 completion percentage. Include a non-existent rushing attack, and it's no surprise Arizona failed miserably on offense.

What JaMarcus Russell brings, if anything, is a strong arm to let the receivers make plays.

Just have him take a three- or five-step drop, target Larry Fitzgerald, Michael Floyd or Andre Roberts and let them do the rest. Given the NFC West's stout defenses, Arizona doesn't have much to hope for.

On the bright side, the Cards' receiving corps is one of the better in pro football. They simply need a quarterback capable of allowing playmaking opportunities to occur at a greater rate.

Jacksonville Jaguars

With receivers such as Justin Blackmon and Cecil Shorts along with tight end Marcedes Lewis, the Jacksonville Jaguars need a quarterback.

And despite Chad Henne's efforts in 2012, the inconsistency was not efficient enough to get the offense moving.

Much like with the Jets, Jacksonville adding Russell just adds competition to the position.

Blaine Gabbert has developed minimally since being a Round 1 pick and it's obvious the passing game remains in dire straits. As for Russell, the Jags are a solid fit because the AFC South is not a strong defensive division.

Houston is easily the best team in the division, but the Texans are also suspect against the pass.

Russell would also be backed by one of the NFL's best ball-carriers in Maurice Jones-Drew. So, resorting to him on the checkdown or screens will take away pressure: Lest we also forget about MJD on the ground, which sets up play-action to the fast receivers downfield.
